(Published on 15. August 2022, 23:13 by zetamath)
Normal sudoku rules apply.
The clues in the grid are double arrow clues. The sum of the digits along a line is equal to the sum of the digits in the circles at either end of the line. Digits may repeat freely along a double arrow.
As an example, if the circles at the ends of a line contain 5 and 5, then the line connecting them may contain 145.
Have fun, leave a comment if you enjoy the puzzle!
PS: I stream solving sudoku like puzzles twice a week. You can check out the channel, as well as some videos I have made about setting puzzles, at my YouTube channel here.
Solution code: Row 8

Wow. Loved that. Of all the puzzles I've solved on LMD so far, completing this has given me the most joy.
I don't have huge faith in my ability and was surprised that I spotted the logic in a couple of boxes to allow me to continue.
Thank you Zetamath.

@washyleopard: I second that. 18 digit solution codes strike me as a completely unnecessary pain in the lower back. I assume nobody around here would bother to cheat in the first place, but even if, nine digits already are more than enogh to prevent such attemps (not to say: even nine are already overkill).

Very lovely intro to double arrows with perfect flow!

I have an unreasonable hatred of typing in solution codes so I appreciate any time its only 9 digits. Very nice puzzle for its ease.

My first ever <10 minute zeta solve. Going to savor this for a bit...
Agree with vebby, exceptionally smooth
